How to restart the modem on Arch

Arch uses eg25-manager already by default. Since it's already packaged in a repo I guess there is no need for it to be in the AUR.
Unfortunately restarting eg25-manager on Arch didn't restart the modem for me as it did on other distros. I read that on Manjaro they had been doing a lot of experimenting lately on how to handle the modem, so that way did not alwas work there either, but after some updates it did again. Arch doesn't change that much.
You could try restarting ModemManager, maybe that helps. Other than that I don't know of another way to restart the modem without rebooting (which doesn't mean that there isn't one though, I'd be happy to learn about it too).
